I expect most conferences will opt in. Ivy League did not but they also are the only ones who already don't have athletic scholarships.
Opting in gives schools a lot more creativity in how they can fund athletes. Opt in allows them to directly pay athletes NIL money in addition to scholarships. So a school could find brands to sponsor their teams through NIL. Big brands like Nike and Gatorade but also smaller lifestyle brands and even more local and regional brands like a car dealership. |

Very soon all schools will provide these marketing services for their athletes.

| So is it reasonable to assume all conferences except Ivy will opt in? |

Last I heard, Big10 and ACC were saying probably not. |

Iveys can do whatever they want.
They have infinite money and lawyers with nothing to do. |

I know that's your answer to every question but really this will not have much impact on ECNL. Colleges will still need a recruiting platform. Right now the biggest one is ECNL. |

| what does it have to do with ECNL? This will make college soccer more competitive. Roster spots 29-32 on P4 schools are already taking playing time roster spots on mid level D1 schools...the trickle down effect is happening |
